**1.** Get up and running with Julia. Either download and install an executable from [[http://www.julialang.org]] or use the [[http://www.juliabox.com | JuliaBox]] cloud-based Julia server. 

**2.** Learn some Julia basics by working through [[http://sistemas.fciencias.unam.mx/~dsanders/|David Sander]]'s [[https://github.com/dpsanders/hands_on_julia|Hands-on Julia]] notebooks. These pages from my undergrad class should help you get started

You will want to download these files then start them up within Julia, as described in the notes above, or upload them to JuliaBox and run them there.
